BBC - h2g2 - 'Cheers' - the TV Series Throughout the run of the series, Sam and Rebecca both inhabited the office over the years; when the office was Sam's, it was disorganised and decorated with a moose head; in contrast, Rebecca's office is tidy and well maintained. Around the middle of the series, he is quite bitter, for a number of reasons, mostly because of Diane leaving him at the altar at their wedding, but by the end of the series, he becomes just as light natured as Cliff or Norm. Cheers was a popular TV show in America in the 1980s and early 1990s. www.bbc.co.uk /dna/h2g2/A1084619   (3135 words)

Commander-in-Chief - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the British Army, the office of General in Chief Command, later renamed Commander-in-Chief of the Forces, was instituted after the Restoration in 1660. The Letters Patent of King George VI transferred all the duties of Head of State of Canada to the Governor General in 1947 and the new Commission of Appointment referred to the Office of Governor General and Commander-in-Chief in and over Canada. The Governor-General is designated in the Letters Patent Constituting the Office of Governor-General 1983 and the Defence Act 1990 as "Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief". en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Commander-in-Chief   (2289 words)

Commander in Chief (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As the series' episodes have paralleled their actual air dates, including events such as the Atlantic hurricane season, Halloween, and Thanksgiving, it would make sense that Bridges' death occur during his third year in office which would mean a presidential election due shortly. Commander in Chief is a television drama focusing on the presidential administration and family of Mackenzie Allen (portrayed by Geena Davis), the first female President of the United States, who ascends to the role after the previous chief executive, Teddy Bridges (played by Will Lyman), dies in office from a sudden ruptured cerebral aneurysm. However, a counter-argument is that the series is trying to depict realistically what the general public's reaction to the first female president would be, and such an occurrence would probably also focus public scrutiny on a female president's gender rather than her policies. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Commander_in_Chief_(television)   (2078 words)

TV series' visibility feather in city's hat Though it's possible "The Guardian" and ABC's TV movie would film in Southwestern Pennsylvania regardless, the "West Wing" shoot was all the doing of the Pittsburgh Film Office. Regular readers of this column know I prefer to leave politics to political writers, but with all the recent TV production to come our way, the time seems right to speak up on behalf of the Film Office, which runs out of funding at the end of the year. There's more television than I can cover as it is, and when a TV show comes to film, it's just one more thing on my plate. www.post-gazette.com /tv/20021003owen1003fnp2.asp   (800 words)

The Honolulu Advertiser Local News I was concerned the numbers would be significantly down because we had fewer TV series, but the other categories made up the difference,” said state Film Office manager Georgette Deemer.

BBCAmericaTheOffice.html The British series "The Office," a cult favorite on these shores and a series as critically adored as only a few American series, returns for "The Office Special," quite possibly the finest closing chapter ever for a TV series. When TV industry insiders were asked to name their favourite piece of BBC footage — including such unforgettable moments as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege and the moon landing — they chose Ricky Gervais dancing like a lunatic instead. The protagonist of the series is the now-legendary David Brent (played by writer and creator Ricky Gervais), a man so delusional about his power and likability that he was the perfect foil for the emotionless BBC cameras. www.angelfire.com /pa2/leothelion/BBCAmericaTheOffice.html   (258 words)

UFO (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Although the Harlington-Straker studio office block seen throughout the series was actually Neptune House - a building at the former British National Studios, in Borehamwood, that were owned by ATV. An idiosyncrasy of the series is that the term "UFO" is pronounced as a word ("you-foh") by the characters, and not as "you-eff-oh", as is more common with the acronym.

Maverick - Westerns film, movie and television series Maverick (dvd) - Inspired by the 1960s TV series that starred James Garner in the title role, this lightweight Western from 1994 proved to be a surprising box-office hit. Maverick's trying to raise the $5,000 needed to join the high-stakes contest, but that's easier said than done due to a lot of unscrupulous competition and a twisting plot of tricks and deceptions. It's also fun to see the rapport between Gibson and Garner, as if the present and former Mavericks were a kind of surrogate son and father, bonded by their mutual skill in charming and conning their way through tight spots. www.1earth.com.au /movie_poster/maverick.html   (320 words)

Dallas Dallas, the first of a genre to be named "prime-time soap" by television critics, established the features of serial plots involving feuding families and moral excess that would characterize all other programs of the type. It was the complicated stuff of daytime melodrama, done with big-budget glamour--high-fashion wardrobes, richly furnished home and office interiors, exteriors shot on location in the Dallas area. For prime time in the late seventies, Dallas was sensational, featuring numerous acts of adultery by both J.R. and Sue Ellen, the revelation of Jock's illegitimate son, Ray Krebs, who worked as a hired hand on Southfork, and the raunchy exploits of young Lucy, daughter of Gary, the third, largely absent, Ewing brother. www.museum.tv /archives/etv/D/htmlD/dallas/dallas.htm   (1024 words)
